Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I obtained my degree in Biomedical Engineering. I currently work as a Biotech Engineer, and will begin my Master's degree in Fall 2026. I have received my Basic First Aid Training and completed the Red Cross CPR certification course. I love showing my love to others through cooking meals and love to read in my free time. In caring for your child, I love to engage them through reading, educational games, puzzles and a lot of time outside. In past roles I've been responsible for meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickup/drop off and overnight care.

I also worked at a day care called pathways for children for 5 years. as well as other daycares after that. I have a ton of experience and it is also my passion! I love child care and I can provide child care,house cleaning,cooking as well as pet watching.
Looking for someone to fill in those last minute days or nights? Having a hard time finding a long term nanny but need someone else during the search? I’m available! I am a Freelance Film Production Coordinator looking for some part time work. I am the oldest of 7 children and have always been around kids. I worked at a daycare throughout high school and college, and then was a nanny for several years. Currently, I help to take care of my nieces and nephews (aged 3months - 5years) as needed. I am very comfortable and confident with all ages. First Aid and CPR Certified. References available.
“Kayla was great with both kids. My 4 year old loved talking with her and she had my 2 year old smiling and giggling. We will definitely have her back!”
I really like and generally have a very good rapport with most children (toddlers, especially) and have experience baby sitting and taking out for entertainment events several generations of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces & nephews, Enjoy reading, theatre/dance/music concerts and cultural events/venues, stories & re-enacting characters with and for children. I've worked in the past at the Wheelock Family Theatre and have worked as costumed characters in holiday events, especially (e g. X-Mas Elf at Filene's and Macy's; Mouse King in Boston Ballet Nutcracker promos, etc. Also, I'm a dog-lover .... have a good "rapport" with them, too. Many dogs I don't know will approach me for friendly attention while being walked. It appears - like children - that they have a "sixth sense", too. I'm also able to take on occasional office-support, general cleaning, and small special projects. I work PT and remotely from home in B2B sales and marketing. As my schedule can be somewhat flexible, I occasionally have open times for baby sitting, generally in the late afternoon, evenings, on some weekends, and - when remote work is slow - sometimes earlier in the day on weekdays.
I am a tutor who thrives on helping k-8 students work more successfully in reading and writing. Special Education and literacy are my background with a solid foundation in The Science of Reading and Guided Reading, remedial reading and writing. I have 20 years of experience and a very nurturing manner. I prepare 3/4 year old with readiness skills for school also. I have several parent and teacher references. My skills include working with beginning, intermediate and advanced learners, mostly special needs learners, mild to moderate and English language learners in reading and writing. I also do childcare with ages three to ten. We work on creative play, storytelling, books, language, behaviors, sports, exercise and more, whatever your child's interests are is okay with me. My fees range according to service providing and number of students/children. I work mostly afternoons and evenings for the school year according to my primary position. I like to work all summer days too. I like to be flexible for you.
